Chris Dodd On the Air

In a new ad airing in New Hampshire, Chris Dodd says Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton changed positions on the Iraq war to follow Chris Dodd and support the Feingold-Reid-Dodd amendment. Dodd also says he’ll be talking in New Hampshire about his plan to fix global warming. On his website, Dodd has posted his comprehensive 14-point plan for energy independence, with one point proposing a Corporate Carbon Tax. The revenues obtained from the tax, estimated at over $50 billion annually, would fund the research and development of renewable technologies (e.g. wind, solar, ethanol) and help bring energy-efficient technologies into the market. Other points include raising fuel economy standards in cars to 50 mpg and promoting mass transit. The full ad is below.
